The Algerian Six were six Algerian men, who gained citizenship of Bosnia and Herzegovina during the Bosnian War, five of whom will continue to hold a dual Algerian and Bosnian citizenship, and who were imprisoned without charges at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba from January 2002. After the men initially fell under U.S. suspicion, the government of Bosnia and Herzegovina arrested and tried them in 2001, but later released them for lack of evidence.
